Q fever (Query fever) is an infectious disease that spreads from animals to humans. Q fever is caused by a microbe called "Coxiella burnetii." This microbe can survive for months and even years in dust or soil.
symptoms:
People can have Q fever without knowing it or mistake it for mild flu. Often, it is impossible to tell without laboratory tests
Sometimes, Q fever strikes as a sudden illness, affecting a large number of people in the same workplace. Common signs and symptoms resemble a serious case of the flu:
sudden onset of high fever
fatigue
muscle pain
chills and sweating
headache
general feeling of sickness and loss of appetite
prevention:
For most effective prevention, the Q fever microbe should be eliminated from animals. Eradications programs, however, are not yet available because Q fever spreads so effectively among animals. So far, research on vaccination programs for animals has not had practical success.
